9 Technical data
• Adapt your speed and the itinerary to minimize vibration:
- Travel around obstacles and uneven ground.
- Reduce your speed during vehicle travel across rough terrain.
• Reduce vibration to a minimum during long work cycles or during
vehicle operation over long distances:
- Use a machine with a suspension system (for example seat).
- Enable the hydraulic oscillation damping if the vehicle is equipped
with tracks.
- If the vehicle is not equipped with hydraulic oscillation damping,
reduce your speed to avoid bumps and jolts.
- Load the vehicle on a truck or trailer to move between job sites.
• Other risk factors can affect drive comfort negatively. The following
measures can improve drive comfort:
- Adjust the operator seat and the control elements to a relaxed body
posture.
- Adjust the rearview mirrors to ensure optimal visibility so you can
adopt an upright seating position.
- Provide breaks to avoid sitting for long periods.
- Do not jump off the cabin.
- Picking up and raising loads repeatedly must be limited to a
minimum.
Reference:
The vibration values and calculations are based on the indications made
in ISO/TR 25398 Mechanical Vibrations – Guidelines for assessment of
exposure to whole-body vibration during operation of earth moving
vehicles.
The harmonized data comply with measurements made by international
institutes, organizations and manufacturers. This publication offers
information on the calculation of whole-body vibrations for operators of
earth-moving machines. This method is based on vibration measurements
under real operating conditions for all vehicles. Read the original
guidelines. This chapter summarizes part of the legal regulations.
However, its aim is not to replace the original references. Other parts of
this document are based on information of the United Kingdom Health and
Safety Executive.
For more information on vibration, refer to Directive 2002/44/EC of
European Parliament and Council on minimum health and safety
requirements regarding exposure of workers to risks arising from physical
agents (vibration).
